### 10.5 Content-Type

The Content-Type entity-header field indicates the media type of the Entity-Body sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the media type that would have been sent had the request been a GET.

           Content-Type   = "Content-Type" ":" media-type

Media types are defined in Section 3.6. An example of the field is

           Content-Type: text/html

Further discussion of methods for identifying the media type of an entity is provided in Section 7.2.1.
